Global women engineers and scientists

Have you ever walked on a construction site and whistles were the tune of the day? Ever tried to raise a point in the boardroom and you were overlooked by your male counterparts, ever been labelled as "the emotional wreck" and overlooked for promotions? Then this conference is for you madam. Women are striving to break barriers globally. We have invited remarkable women who have made it to the top. How do they do it, we all ask? Hear it from the horse's mouth.

This event is to find solutions to create more sustainable ways to retain the lady engineers and mentor them into global leaders and industry drivers. Technology trends and innovation remain an area that women in engineering need to improve on constantly as new trends and innovations are introduced regularly.

This conference will bring to light leadership, innovation and sustainability solutions affecting this sector. Women will be equipped with best leadership trends, innovations, retention strategies, work balance and of course bringing out the woman within. Together we will aim to develop outstanding practice models of an industry which is committed to diversity and equality in the workplace. Together we will explore some of these important issues by identifying the challenges women face during their studies and in the workplace once they graduate and provide lasting solutions to ways in which more women can be integrated to the engineering profession. This will be opportunity to showcase achievements of women in science and engineering and lead the way to evolution of our professionals.
